4csgoskins news:The Plot Thickens with 'CS:GO' Skin Betting

[4csgoskins]

　　　csgo skins buy betting in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has gone from oddity to controversy to outright scandal at a blistering speed.

　 　The last installment of the Weekly Rushdown discussed a class action lawsuit being brought against CSGO's publisher, Valve, and this week? Well, Callum Leslie of The Daily Dot reported the following:

　　 Trevor "TmarTn" Martin and Tom "ProSyndicate" Cassell are embroiled in a controversy after an apparent failure to disclose their ownership of skin gambling site CSGOLotto, despite creating numerous videos gambling five-figure sums on the site.

　　Another YouTuber and streamer "JoshOG" also admitted to holding equity in CSGOLotto, but insisted this was simply part of a sponsorship and he did not consider himself an owner.

　　For the uninitiated, skin betting is the practice of betting digital items that customize in-game characters (often called skins) on the outcome of pro games, and it usually done through massive websites. It has taken hold in the CS:GO community in a big way and has brought a great deal of controversy and divisiveness among players as a result.

　　Needless to say, there are serious ethical questions about what TmarTn and ProSyndicate are accused of—especially in TmarTn's case, as he claimed to have chanced upon CSGOLotto in videos (saying he "found this new site called CSGOLotto"), despite later saying his ownership of the site has "never been a secret."

　　With that said, very little consequences are likely to come from this situation at this time.

　 　Skin betting is a multimillion dollar industry with no real oversight, legally or ethically. Unless Valve, or the government, steps in, these sorts of stories are likely to continue.
